my oh my, how things have changed.

Well. I suppose it is time for a new blog, being as a LOT has changed since my first and only blog.  My location, my relationship status or lack there-of, but most importantly my state of mind.

In my last post I spoke of being happy and content with where you are and what you have.  Which I still do believe... to an extent.  I must confess that when I was writing that post, I felt like I was trying to convince myself more than anyone else that is what I truly believed.  In reality I was not being true to myself at all. So this post is about being true to yourself. Following your dreams. Not living your life based on what someone else thinks is the correct way, but on what you truly feel is the right path for your life.  Don't ever be CONTENT... with your life. Be HAPPY. LOVE your life.
Anyone who knows me knows that i'm well.... sort of a gypsy.  I haven't managed to stay in one place very long,  and I'm ok with that, but I was always looking for something else.  Since I was 16, I have always had this "gut feeling" that I belonged in California.  Corny, I know. My personality, and the things i enjoy doing are ABUNDANT in this state... why would i NOT love it here.  But I kept taking detours, ending up in different places, and ignoring said "gut feeling"... which we all know how those detours ended up.  It is sad that it took such a violent shove to get me to follow my dreams, but I finally am living my life for ME, and I am where I have wanted to be the whole time. The point I am trying to make is... listen to yourself.  Tap into that voice or instinct inside you that is telling you what you really love & where you really need to be. Never, ever lose yourself and what makes you, you. Be unique. Follow your passions.  Do things that scare you.  Do what people tell you you cannot do.

"No one can save us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path". 

So to update... I am in sunny, beautiful Southern California. The weather is perfect. EVERYTHING is beautiful. There are more things that i love to do here than I could have even dreamed.  Amazing, friendly people.... and this is just the first 2 weeks.  I am sure there will be many more exciting adventures to share with you in the near future.  But in the mean time I challenge you to ask yourself... am i happy or am i content? Am I doing what i LOVE? what are your dreams? what is something you have always wanted to do? What steps are you taking to make that happen?

oh, and i promise not all my blogs will be these deep, life lessons.  adventure. hobbies. and music all to come!
until then...

Peace&Love
